Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has confirmed that September will be a busy month for the company, with several new products launching.

The month will kick off with the Xiaomi SkyNomad, a family-focused SUV lineup built on the Kunlun platform.

The Xiaomi 18 Fold is also confirmed to launch alongside the SkyNomad, and it's likely the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max will join them.

Both the 18 Fold and the Pad 9 Pro Max are powered by Xiaomi's new XRING O3 chip.

The XRING O3 has reportedly scored 5.22 million points on AnTuTu, making it the first smartphone chip to cross the 5 million mark.

This chip uses a 3nm process and packs 24 billion transistors into a 133mm² design, which is 26% larger than the previous XRING O1.

Its 10-core CPU also scored more than 15,000 points in multi-core testing.

Xiaomi's new G2-Ultra NX GPU is said to deliver 85% better graphics performance while using 64% less power.

Xiaomi 18 Pro Brings a New Snapdragon Chip

The Xiaomi 18 Pro series will arrive toward the end of September, with its biggest upgrade being the sixth-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip.

Unlike the O3, the Gen 6 will use a newer 2nm process, which is expected to increase transistor density by around 30%.

This could bring better performance, lower power use, and more stable performance during longer periods of heavy use.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro series is also expected to support 100W wired charging, the N79 5G band, and UWB connectivity.
